Named "best written" garden book in the country by the Garden Writer's Association, this collection of essays on garden values and over 117 treasured plants, is lively and sometimes garden-irreverent, sure to make you laugh out loud, and to read passages to others (even if it annoys them). It recalls plants that are shared, along with memories, and gives ample tips on growing and propagating them to keep them moving along. A special section on "yard art" is sure to embarrass and chagrin! This book often gets borrowed for good , becoming a passalong itself.

"Passalong Plants is a hoot and a holler. Pardon me, it's a worthy and eminently enjoyable contribution to American horticultural literature."
Allen Lacy, author and philosopher

"The heart of gardening is in the small-to-middle-sized yards of working people. And its soul is not in the fancy plants sold by mass marketers, but in traditional plants passed along from mother to daughter and friend to friend. This book breathes life, love, and joy into that fundamental truth, while having a ball with its eccentricities and idiosyncracies."
Jim Wilson, author and former host of The Victory Garden

"I have a friend who keeps her copy in the bathroom - high praise from an Alaskan!"- Jeff Lowenfels, garden editor, Anchorage
